👨‍🍳 作り方

1
Prepare the banana leaves by wilting them over an open flame or dipping them in hot water until they become soft and pliable. This prevents them from tearing when folded.
2
In a small bowl, mix together coconut milk, lemon juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, salt, and pepper. If using, add sliced chili.
3
Place one portion of fish onto the center of a prepared banana leaf. Spoon some of the coconut milk marinade over the fish. Add a slice of tomato if desired.
4
Fold the banana leaf to completely enclose the fish, creating a sealed parcel. You can secure it with kitchen twine or toothpicks if needed.
5
Repeat with the remaining fish portions and banana leaves.
6
Steam the parcels in a steamer basket over boiling water for 15-20 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily.
7
Carefully unwrap the parcels and serve the fish immediately, with the flavorful juices from the leaf.
